ART-INCIDENT WORKSHOPS

The two kinds of space, intimate space and exterior space, keep encouraging each other, as it were, in their growth... I would seem, then, that it is through their “immensity” that these two kinds of space -the space of intimacy and world space- blend. When human solitude depeens, then two immensities touch and become identical.”
Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space, p.184, 201, 203
